Unit Definitions
What is a Watt (W)?
A watt (W) is a unit of power that quantifies the rate of energy transfer. It is defined as one joule per second.
History
The watt is named after James Watt, the Scottish inventor known for his improvements to the steam engine in the 18th century. The unit was adopted in 1889 at the International Electrical Congress.
Current Use
Today, watts are commonly used to measure electrical power in household appliances, lighting, and industrial equipment.

A kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit. It represents the total power used by equipment without considering losses.
History
The term kilovolt-ampere emerged in the early 20th century as electrical systems expanded. It was crucial for ensuring proper sizing of electrical devices and infrastructure.
Current Use
Kilovolt-amperes are widely used in the electrical industry to rate generators, transformers, and UPS systems, helping engineers design efficient power systems.
